The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD: Never Cutting Corners on Capability
Some trucks talk a big game about capability. The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD backs it up with numbers that hold up under an actual trailer hitch. Built on a fully boxed frame and offered in 2500 and 3500 configurations across Regular Cab, Double Cab, and Crew Cab body styles, this heavy-duty truck is engineered for people who need more than a half-ton can offer. Here's what buyers can expect at Moran Chevrolet in Clinton Township, MI.
Performance Features
Standard power comes from a 6.6-liter V8 gas engine making 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque, run through a 10-speed automatic transmission. For heavier jobs, though, the available 6.6-liter Duramax® Turbo-Diesel V8 steps output up to 470 horsepower and a commanding 975 lb-ft of torque, and it's paired with a 220-amp alternator to keep up with the added electrical demand that comes with towing gear. Underneath both engine options sits a fully boxed frame, keeping this new Chevy truck composed and resistant to twisting when the bed or hitch is loaded down.

- Automatic Emergency Braking paired with Front Pedestrian Braking

- StabiliTrak® electronic stability control with traction control
